Today we'll throw some light on Chaturanga.
Chaturanga is believed to be the earliest form of today’s chess. It is an old Indian two-player board game tracing back to least 1,500 years ago.
‘Chaturanga’ roughly translates to “four limbs” in Sanskrit – which were infantry, elephants, cavalry and chariots.

Similar to Chess, Chaturanga portrays a war between two armies. Each of the pieces represents one of the four divisions of the Indian army. Although, accurate rules of the game are unknown, Chaturanga allows the player to continue the game even when the ‘rajah’/king has been lost
